Authorized silkscreen print by Piet Mondrian (1872-1944). Based on the 1930 oil painting "Composition No. II." Recently sold at Sotheby's to an Asian bidder for $51 million.
This silkscreen print was produced in 1980 by Nouvelles Images in Lombreuil. Copyright SPADEM Paris 1980. With certificate. From a series of 420. Dimensions: 62 x 62 cm. Comes with a frame and mat. The silkscreen print can be easily removed and fitted with a different frame, anti-reflective glass, etc.
The work
This is probably Piet Mondrian's most admired painting.
The focal point of the eye has shifted here to the lower left corner, while red—rare in the artist's work—prevails as the dominant color. "Only 17 of the approximately 120 paintings Mondrian produced between 1921 and 1933 emphasize the color red, and of that group, only three remain in private collections," explains Sotheby's. Only two paintings, held in the National Gallery of Belgrade and the Kunsthaus Zurich, respectively, feature a dominant red square in the upper right corner.
According to Julian Dawes, head of Expressionist and Modern Art at Sotheby's, "Piet Mondrian's most important works rarely come up for auction because many of them are in prestigious museum collections. Composition No. II embodies everything one might expect from a Mondrian."
